Motive Bleeder doesn't hold pressure

Own 2013 G37xS coupe.
Got a new Motive bleeder 0107. The cap fit nice , however it does not hold pressure (go down from 10 PSI to 5 after a few minutes).
Any advice???!!

Find the leak using soapy water and a sprayer.

Found the bastard! Hose has a leak. Product is going back to Amazon (That's why I love buying items sold directly by Amazon )
Thanks for your help!

Glad it was helpful.

Where was the hose leaking from? A puncture or not sealing at one of the conections?

One of the screw connections

Got a replacement from Amazon and it had the same leak. I wonder if it's a bad batch....
Anyway I added some Teflon tape around the screw connection and that solved the leak.

Interesting information: the kit comes with a second o ring which is slightly thinner. This o ring (thinner) fits much better to the master cylinder.
